To determine if your money order has been cashed, track it through the issuer's tracking feature, typically available online or via customer service. You'll need the money order's serial number, and possibly the exact amount. If it has been cashed, you can request a copy of the endorsed money order for your records or verification purposes. Always keep your receipt until you have confirmation that the money order has been received and cashed by the intended recipient.
